This one is best when taken with herbal supplements. 😏

Easily the most polarizing episode of the entire series. I like it, but there are a lot of people out there who viewed it with a compete "WTF?" mindset, which I do get. This is one of the "extra" episodes that Apple had them make after they had already plotted out a 10 episode second season (the other being the random Christmas episode).

I like for the character background aspect of storytelling. You really have to reframe your perspective to have deeper appreciation for this episode, and for Beard as a character.

When a tv show makes you sob, you know the writing, and the acting, are phenomenal.

Yeah, this was very "WTF" and polarizing. I loved the Christmas episode and it didn't feel out of place at all. This episode totally felt out of place.

I love this episode, because it’s weird and different. I think it was like a pallet cleanser. Big emotions in the last episode. Maybe they thought we needed a break. I’ll won’t explain my reason more, not yet anyway. Don’t want to spoil anything. It’s an homage to a film from the 80s “After Hours”. It’s funny. You may like it. I’ve always thought that the real, tangible things were real. Thierry Henry and Gary Lineker, who are real ex footballers and now pundits, I believe they were in his head. And I think Beard constantly dropping his key, and then breaking, and the rain .. was the stars, or fate or kismet, whatever you want to call it, guiding Beard to Jane. They’re both a little bonkers, maybe they’re made for each other. 💜

Also, when I lived in England between 2001-2012, I had the biggest crush on Thierry Henry. Love me a French accent. And he was a phenomenal player.

I hate this episode. It's pointless and just filler that wasn't needed at all. The show is almost perfect and this episode is the one that ruins that perfection and makes it almost perfect.

I think this episode was a reflection of Beard as a character. Odd, slightly disjointed and chaotic. Beard has always embodied those traits through the series and that this is HIS episode...well, makes a Beard sort of sense.

This was a “filler” episode. Season 2 was completely written as a 10 episode season before they finished filming season 1. The studio asked the writers to stretch it to 12. The Christmas special and this one were the additions.

Saw an interview with Brett Goldstein and he talked about how much fun they had writing this episode. It was their love letter to Coach Beard and a chance to highlight Brendan Hunt. It was one of the 2 extra episodes ordered by Apple (along with the Christmas episode). The writers also felt like this was probably a typical night for Beard. I gained an appreciation of this episode after watching Brett talk about it.

Oh and that is really Brendan with the hula hoop.

It seems random right now but there is nothing random in Ted Lasso!!!!!! I appreciate this more and more every time I see it. It is really a "read between the lines" episode!!!!

What I always took from this episode was the writers & showrunners turning on its head the exploration troupe. I get it is polarizing and I definitely think having an inside baseball (Hollywood) moment last a full episode was a bit much however I kind of love it looking back though intially I was disappointed that it paused the rest of the stories. To clarify what I mean by the exploration troupe is often show's will take detours showing a character that appears enigmatic's backstory, personal life or offer something that gives you insight into their motivation which suddenly helps the audience appreciate & understand the character. In the Manchester episode we get that moment with Ted revealing how his father died. We saw the a-hole on full display to provide us a peek into why Jamie is Jamie. We have had glimpses of what has shaped Nate & what he thinks he needs to be to be appreciated. Point being this show has brilliantly used that troupe to make the audience appreciate & understand these complex & nuanced characters. This episode takes that troupe and says at the beginning of the episode are you ready to explore & find out who Beard is? With the audience rightfully having the expectation being yes. However that episode doesn't show what shaped Beard, it doesn't help us understand his relationship with Jane or why he loves her, it offers no insight to his relationship with Ted or even provide a black & white understanding why that loss beyond hating to lose impacted him so much. We enter the episode with him being an enigma and leave it no closer to cracking that riddle. I think the purpose of the episode was to say in life there will be people you meet that you'll meet but never truly know but its doesn't mean you cant respect and care about them. Not everyone has a heartfelt, tragic, sad or compelling story they want anyone to know or share. Some people are private, some people aren't going to open the book to a chapter that explains them. I think in a lot of ways I connect so much to Beard because no two people in my life know me the same way (although that is true of everybody so it's not like I am saying I'm unicorn or special) . It's Not that I pretend or put up a front, it's just that I have eclectic interests so my conversations from person to person can be so wildly different. To the point that if I finished two separate conversations with different people then those two people had a conversation asking what did we talk about? The two people would find out there is virtually no overlap, causing them to question if they spoke to the same person. The one thing that I relish about having diverse interests is to paraphrase Beth Dutton "I am the rock that algorithms break themselves on"

Henry was soooo good in his small bits. He did a great job as Beard's inner self loathing.

This one is always a skip for me. 😕

This was the second of the two bottle episodes this season - the first was the Christmas episode. When Apple initially renewed the show for a second season, they only ordered ten episodes. And then the first season wound up being so much more popular than they expected that they asked for two more episodes, but the second season had already been substantially written, so they had to figure out how to wedge two more episodes in that wouldn't require rewriting the other ten episodes. This episode and the Christmas episode are kind of standalone episodes that exist largely outside the main story arcs of the season - if you skipped the Christmas episode or this one, you wouldn't be that lost when you watch the next episode. But they're still great and add more layer to the characters on the show. The next episode picks up more or less where Episode 8 (Manchester City) left off.

I was actually dreading your reaction to this episode and not because I hate it I dont but do think it was badly timed after the Man City episode on first watch I was also wtf is happening but as others have mentioned Apple wanted another 2 episodes so the Christmas episode was one and then the beard episode the other and trust me if you re watch the series again you will appreciate it more.

Joyce Yu

same!! I really didn't want to rewatch this episode haha. But, I do love the bit when the three lads discover where they are. That was just pure joy.

Blue Moon was a reoccurring theme through out.

I don't understand the dislike of this episode. Its so much fine seeing Beard's character. Do people not like him?
